    I feel like this is making fun of CHUDs. Like the Amazon package is clearly hinted to be toilet paper, most people realize that a car is a necessity in America, and most tenants use the fridge that came with the apartment.

      You might be right. But there are people who sincerely believe this shit.

        Ofc a lot of people believe something similar to this, that's what it's satirizing, lol. Then again fox news did try to debunk the existence of poverty by pointing out that 98% of Americans own a fridge.

        I mean it's a CHUD username for sure. But all the imagery is too on the nose, and the commenters in the thread are getting it's satire. I think this is a case that there are CHUDs who are immiserated, can see that the system is unfair, and they can see through the bullshit narratives that are used to shame people in poverty. The question is are these people reachable to us, and can we win them over to our coalition without sacrificing any of the major issues of the left.
